Cool... I just saw the trailer for the new movie: "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" One of my favorite Sci Fi books when i was in High School..... I'm kinda upset though... Trillian (the #2 sexiest astrophysicist ever) is no longer a blonde 
Any other Hitchhiker fans out there? Remember the BBC series?

I use to play a game on this. It was a DOS text program just to say how old this is.

They ran this on public television in the seventys, It seemed like it ran over several nights ...or maybe weeks, I can't remember... but I was a heavy pot head then. 
What I remember was pretty cool.

I never saw the BBC series but I'm excited about this movie (April 14th I think?). I've been reading the books lately (currently reading the conversation between Marvin the robot and a mattress - Life, the Universe, and Everything) to re-familiarize myself.
The casting looks good - the guy from "The Office" as Arthur, Mos Def (truly a hoopy frood ) as Ford Prefect, Sam Rockwell as Zaphod Beetlebrox, and I'm pretty sure from the trailer that the robot is voiced by Alan Rickman. It ought to be fun.
